Oh, Yay 2. Gazprom Also Working On Gigantic NG To Plastics Plant - 3 Million Tons/Year
Increasingly troubled by the rapid shift in global energy markets, Russia’s most powerful natural gas company has decided to apply the resources of its biggest field to production of polymers.
Gazprom on Friday officially launched construction of the plant that by 2023 will start production of LNG. Shortly later will be ready an adjacent plant for production of polymers, the company informs. Polymers are often refered to as plastics. Together with partner RusGazDobycha, Gazprom intends to produce a total of 13 million tons of LNG and 3 million tons of polymers per year.
The complex will be located in Ust-Luga, near St.Petersburg, and is to be connected by pipeline with the northern tip of remote Arctic peninsula Yamal.
The Tambey field holds as much as 5,2 trillion cubic meters of natural gas and is considered among the company’s biggest undeveloped assets.
